Backup Exec says files are inaccesible and in use - they're not!
Posted on 2003-02-21
I am using Backup Exec 2.0 to backup data to a tape drive on a machine that is used as a server in a peer to peer network. It is not backing up critical data because it says the files are inaccessible or that they are in use by another program. This happened before and I used the close program window to close everything but systray and explorer and that worked. But now it is doing it again and that isn't helping. I still get this message when all machines on the network are shut down. The attribs on the files are all set to full. I'm lost, any suggestions?

They are probably held open by a service rather than a user program. You can buy the open file agent but if it's a database you'll either have to stop that service or buy the agent for it if available. What programs are installed?
Just another idea... I had the exact same problem and It would work sparatically... I finally replaced the drive and everything has been working great since.. for the last 2 years now.... no problems.
